The Blair Witch is still terrifying all these years later in freaky new trailer

Itâs been a long time coming, but it looks like we might finally have a worthy sequel to 1999âs The Blair Witch Project.

Collider has debuted a tense, claustrophobic new trailer for Blair Witch, which manages to evoke the same found-footage terror that made the original such a phenomenon. The film made its surprise debut at San Diego Comic-Con (it was originally billed as an original horror flick titled The Woods) to a good bit of buzz and fanfare, and this fresh footage shows it could certainly be a worthy follow-up for the franchise (if nothing else, it canât be worse than Book of Shadows).

Hereâs the filmâs official synopsis:

A group of college students venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of Jamesâ sister who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence.Â Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.
